UNER TAN SYNDROME
Story
Hola! I am chromosome pair 9! this is my acquaintance chromosome pair 17! We live in a little boy named Link! he has Uner Tan Syndrome don’t know what it is? well i’ll tell you! it is when a person has the inability to stand and walk on all fours there’s more symptoms but i’l explain them later. Sadly we are both the cause of the syndrome but his parents pass down autosomal recessive genes! by breeding wanna know what’s so different? they where brother & sister.
The deformity of the syndrome occurs with the VLDLR gene. The VLDLR controls neuronal positioning and alignment in the cerebellum the cerebellum is the region of the brain that controls….motor control…I’m also here to tell you other causes of the disease!
-Underdevelopment in the cerebellum, particularly the narrow are between the two brain hemispheres.
-An overly smooth surface area of the brain which results in fewer neurons.
Some of the Symptoms of the NEW disease is.
-Severe mental disability.
-Involuntary rhythmic eye movement
-lack ability to communicate.(can only communicate in sounds)
-Inability to coordinate muscle movement(Fast changing movements of the limbs,Dysmetria:decreases the range of motion)
Link has it hard…his family has to move to a secluded part of their town the reason is the town people believe that he is cursed and shall be executed but…his family didn’t want him to leave…..so they moved to the “ghost” part of the town. Currently there’s no cure since it is a new disease if you didn’t see me write it in bold letters. A theory believes that this syndrome is reverse-evolution but other scientists disagree and say our past ancestors have a different motion than the disease Link has. Hopefully we will they will find a cure the following years.
…It’s all my fault
Questions
What questions did you need to research in order to create your mutation story? What chromosomes UT syndrome? (Uner Tan)
How is the gene mutation caused?
What are some facts about UT syndrome?
How does UT syndrome affect a person?
What new or familiar digital tool did you use to work through this project?
I used my Laptop for the research, writing and uploading of this project.
What was the process you used to investigate this topic?
I started by writing out all of the questions that I needed to research and found the answers eventually. I then proceeded to write notes in my notebook. after research on UT syndrome I read about gene mutation so I had a good understanding on what i was going to write about.
How did you verify and cite the information you found?
All of the information I found was the same well almost the same on all the websites.
How did this process of completing this challenge go? what could you have done better?
The process was pretty easy because information about this syndrome is very accessible. I could have researched a few more questions so I could include more effects and consequences of this syndrome.
Gender is not a cause
